Dear Sir/Madam,
This is in response to your recent email enquiry to the Immigration Section of the High Commission of Canada in New Delhi.

Even sponsors of persons who applied under the Family Class must have the written authorization of the applicant before our office can release information to them from their family member's file. Currently, there is no such authorization in your name. Therefore, we cannot provide any personal information to you.
